A new review on Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 lens

Admiring Light has published a review on the Olympusf2.0 lens.

Here are his conclusions:

Pros:

  • Excellent sharpness – sharp right from f/2, and sharp corner to corner from f/2.8.
  • Outstanding color and contrast at all apertures.  There’s a really nice balance of high microcontrast and vibrant macrocontrast without becoming overly harsh.  Bokeh is quite nice as well.
  • Large aperture for low light shooting or for isolating details when shooting closeup.
  • Excellent build quality with tight tolerances and a wonderful manual focus feel with the focus clutch mechanism.
  • Extremely fun to shoot with, and capable of truly outstanding, professional grade results.

Cons:

  • Lens hood is not included, which is frankly obnoxious given the relatively high price of the lens.
  • Quality control may be an issue – had to go through three copies before obtaining a properly performing lens.
  • Some lateral chromatic aberration at the edges of the frame, though correctable in RAW conversion.
  • Lens ‘steps’ through the focus when using the manual focus ring pulled back.

  1. High price? Are you kidding? An equivalent Canon lens (in quality, speed and zoom) would be about 3 times the price! This lens is a steal. A must have.

  2. Hey, Mr. blog, you confused me – you’ve got a 45mm lens picture and a 12mm lens review… the 12mm IS way over priced… but gorgeous.
